- k258Joined:1989 T-shirt Identification
I'm wondering if anyone recognizes this t-shirt image. It's labeled "©1989 Big Pig Publications, Boulder, CO 80306 7123" I found it among my deceased brother's Grateful Dead shirts but can't figure out if there is a direct relationship. Google comes up empty. Any ideas?

- vbordenJoined:Garcia on UFOs/Aliens
I just heard a Jerry quote on SiriusXM Days Between programming that went something like, "[UFO’s and Aliens] are part of the ecology; they are the carrot and stick in front of the mule of our consciousness." Does anyone have either a link to the interview or know the fuller quote?
- Dead_in_Wood_GreenJoined:R. D. Laing & The Dead--Did they meet on stage? Any details?
Hi,
Hope you're well.
I've read in various places on the Net that The Dead shared a stage at some point with the radical psychiatrist R. D. Laing, who was a massive figure in the counterculture of the 60s and 70s. But I've never come across details of the encounter or a reliable source.
If The Dead met Laing, and shared a stage with him, when and where was it? I'd love to find out. Not only do I love The Dead but I'm also a researcher writing about R. D. Laing... if anyone could help me, I'd be super-grateful.
Would love to hear, too, if any of the band ever mentioned Laing in interviews. They'd have known of the books The Politics of Experience (1967) and Knots (1970), I'm sure. Laing, as I said, was big. E.g. in 1972 he gave a lecture at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and sold the place out a couple of weeks after Bowie had done the same. Can you imagine a psychiatrist doing that today?
Here's hoping someone can help me here.
Thanks for reading.
- ZantedschiaJoined:I'm looking for the concert…
I'm looking for the concert where they played 'Attics of my Life' acoustic, but you could kind of hear the music from the ear piece. I heard it on the GD channel on xm, years ago. I cannot remember what concert it was from. Just thought I'd come here. Hugs!
- biffwebsterjrJoined:Tie Dyed Mardi Gras shirt
I'm trying to figure out if this shirt has any value.
It's a blue tie dyed 1995 Oakland Mardi Gras shirt. I've found the white version of this online going for $200-250 but barely a mention of the tie dyed one.
White version - https://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-90s-Grateful-Dead-Mardi-Gras-Oakland-Not-F…
I inherited this one so I know nothing about it.
Can anyone help? I can't post photos, can I?
- terrapinnyJoined:Sugar Magnolia - Pigpen version
A very long time ago, I heard a bootleg copy of Pigpen singing Sugar Magnolia in a sort of reggae / rasta type feel. I was at a party of someone I didn't know, and didn't ask to find out what show it was from. I've been looking for it ever since. Anyone have any ideas?
- deadshow72Joined:Althea - top 5 live versions?
Looking for a general consensus of smoking hot live versions of Althea, say top 5 or so.
Already listened to 5-16-81: Cornell (too slow, nothing special) / 3/20/92: Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario (OK ) /
10/1/94: Boston Garden, Boston, MA ( Bob's over the top MIDI or whatever guitar effects way too annoying - IMO) /
3/15/90: Capital Centre, Landover, MD (Will go with this for the playlist, but I know there's better one's out there.)
PLEASE HELP! as always, eternally Grateful.
